My Project
Bringing life to SPED in a therapeutic way, while building community partnership and parent teacher relationship. My students will get a chance to learn "their way" and inclusively participate in functions throughout our school system and our community. I am planning to expose them to as much culture from different demographics and diversity as much as possible also while providing an educational yet home like feeling in their classroom where they know that people are present, they care and that they love them and finally that they take education very seriously.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
